The neshamah of a Yid is compared to a flame. At birth you are entrusted with an internal spark, and your job throughout life is to ignite this spark until it illuminates like a full blown fire. On a deeper level that light represents the small piece of Hashem that you have within you. So if you ever feel down remember “ Kodesh Heim” - *Every Yid is Hellig, because Every Yid is A Fire! *This Chanukah, let us remember; when it seems that there is an abundance of darkness, we can all unite our inner flames to create a fire so strong it illuminates the entire world as we prepare to greet Moshiach!

Illuminating the world effectively begins inwards, ensuring that our home is shining thru and thru. Chanukah is etymologically related to the hebrew word for education (chinuch). There is nothing more powerful than the education which takes place at home. No matter how brilliant the school system, kids learn the most from their home. As Chanukah comes, we refocus our efforts to kindle flames of faith to illuminate our home and infuse our home with the warmth of holiness and Yiddishkeit. These flickering flames we put by the window for all the world to see, were lit in the intimacy of the home to teach us: You want to make the world a better place? Make your home a better place. Make sure that even if “it’s dark outside”, “it’s light in here”. “Thank You Hashem” because finally, finally - “Chanukah is here”!!!

Imagine you found out that Hashem will be staying in your guest room...yes, you should be excited!

It lives on every surface; in the cold and heat, in darkness and light! If you catch it too, you will have the following symptoms; sudden dancing, general giggles and laughter.

In explaining the idea of NECHAMA The Seforim Hakedoshim tell us that very soon we will all look back at all of our years in GALUS and it will all make sense, but that's not all!. We will even be able to look at our personal Galus, including the great challenges we all face, each on their own level, and see how everything we have been through was actually the best thing for us at the time - Thats Nechama!

The sound of perseverance
Never Give Up is a prescription of positivity and optimism, lifting us up when Hashem’s ways seem hidden to the human eye.
